Chapter 31: Organizing boxing matches to attract talent?
Chen Fan may have been kindly giving Big B pointers, but he was actually setting a trap for him.
The outsiders can collect all the evidence of Hong Tai's crimes in the next couple of days. Once they get the intelligence, Chen Fan will double-cross He and then drag Hong Tai's senior executives into Stanley. Big B will be the perfect scapegoat!
Wearing red shoes is looked down upon by people in the martial arts world.
Chen Fan couldn't possibly bear such a bad reputation, so he could only suffer the brunt of Da B's misfortune.
Of course, if Chan Ho-nam and his gang were to run into trouble at this crucial moment and get taken down by the police, then it's not his fault.
Watching Big B leave, Jiang Tiansheng gave a helpless smile and said, "This Big B is really getting worse and worse. His ability to handle things is nowhere near that of Da Yu and A Fan."
"Mr. Jiang, Ah B has probably been holed up in Tsz Wan Shan for too long and has forgotten how to fight with a knife. Let him go and have a couple of fights with Hung Tai, maybe he'll remember his old fighting spirit."
Chen Fan was amused by what Da Yu said.
The more you get involved in this world of martial arts, the more fun you'll find. Look at these great brothers!
If you can't kill someone, then kill them. I wonder what kind of "good" thing Big B did in his past life to have a fellow disciple like Da Yu.
Jiang Tiansheng chuckled and said, "Come on, Big B doesn't have the guts you're talking about. It's just that he has a lot of men, otherwise he would have become our Hung Hing's 'Wei Jixiang' long ago."
Wei Jixiang was a disgrace to the underworld, and even his fellow gangsters were afraid of him.
It was only because he stubbornly stayed by Chen Tailong's side like a dog, and even saved Chen Tailong's life, that he would have died a violent death in the street long ago.
"Da Yu, A Fan, your current territory can be connected with A Kun's territory. I plan to get a few minibuses for you to operate. Do you have any objections?" Jiang Tiansheng spoke again.
No objections.
Da Yu agreed without even thinking about it.
Minibus operations are incredibly profitable. There are no fixed routes or stops; drivers can go wherever there are many passengers. Those with triad connections don't have to worry about being bothered by others.
Cash transactions, frequent trips, plenty of drivers working in three shifts, people resting while the cars never stop, can earn a lot of money in a month.
There's not much to do in Kwun Tong, but Chen Fan's territory is in Mong Kok, in a bustling area like Ladies' Market. If Da Yu hesitates for even a second, it would be an insult to his money.
There is another great advantage for him: if he is surrounded by people in the future, he only needs to make a phone call to Chen Fan to quickly send people to help him in minibuses.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Chen Fan did not refuse, nor could he refuse.
"Then it's settled. Each of you find a few drivers. The three of you can discuss how to run the business. Just make sure the triad's share is paid on time and in full."
"Mr. Jiang, do you also want us to pass on a message to Brother Kun?"
"No need, I've already explained it to him." Jiang Tiansheng patted Chen Fan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Fan, you're still young and smart. Do a good job. Hung Hing will belong to you young people in the future."
"Um."
Chen Fan responded.
After leaving Jiang Tiansheng's villa, Chen Fan returned to the Jinsha Nightclub.
Upon entering, he immediately noticed the "health certificates" of the seating area and the female bartenders hanging on the wall.
"Brother Fan, I just received news that Feng Dushe Bing was killed by his boss Luo Maosen; in addition, Meng Bo sent a message saying that he found out that Luo Maosen often went to Fucheng Canal Manufacturing Plant and Qingshan Eighteen Miles Ocean Sail Factory."
Chen Fan had barely sat down when Ahua came to report the latest intelligence.
"Take some time to check out that sailing factory. It's been too long since they've served food; you should have a snack to fill your stomach."
"What about that irrigation canal factory?"
"Don't worry about that." Chen Fan paused, then asked, "How's the situation with the people?"
"We've already recruited over a hundred people, and the plane is currently taking Dongguan Boy and Hua Sheng to test their combat skills." Ah Hua suddenly remembered something and hesitated, "But there's one person I'm unsure whether to recruit."
Chen Fan asked疑惑地问道, "Who could make you hesitate?"
"There's a shrewd old fox named Cao Dahua. He's good at gathering information, but he's a bit old, in his forties."
"Isn't this guy sleazy?"
"A little."
"Did you bring him to my interview? Are there any other promising talents like Dongguanzi or Huasheng?"
Ahua shook his head: "Nothing has been found yet."
"It seems our reputation isn't big enough."
Chen Fan pondered for a moment and then gave the order:
"So you can take over a boxing gym nearby, or open a new one if you don't have one. The venue needs to be big enough. Whether it's a newly acquired gym or one that's already with us, we'll conduct a unified training camp for half a month."
After the training camp ends, we'll set up a ring at the boxing gym and offer a bounty, targeting all the underworld's "49ers" and "Blue Lanterns" to recruit talent. Anyone who wins will be paid.
If someone wins three consecutive matches or defeats a total of five of the fighters we arrange, and meets our recruitment criteria, we invite them to join. If they don't meet our requirements, we recommend them to other Hung Hing branches, and we collect a referral fee from those branches.
The possibility of you being able to fight can be basically eliminated, since people who are addicted to chasing dragons will experience a decline in physical fitness and definitely cannot adapt to high-intensity PK.
To some extent, it can also eliminate those who indulge in excessive lust, since women will also become weak-kneed after playing around too much, and He Yong of Tung Sing is the best example.
This scoundrel had his yang energy drained seven times by a golden-haired lion king found by Thirteen Sister, turning him into a spineless crab. He was beaten by Big Head on the arena until he groaned.
As for whether someone is a gambler, that depends on the background check.
"Isn't this a bit too costly?" Ahua frowned.
"Don't focus on the cost. Think positively. The stronger our subordinates are, the fewer casualties we'll suffer when we start fighting. Once we snowball our success, the cost will be negligible."
Chen Fan would rather spend more money training people in normal times than suffer a defeat in a battle and be extorted for money.
Besides, organizing a tournament can also generate income through betting.
Even if you don't open the market yourself, you can instruct someone else to do it, which can avoid some unnecessary risks.
Anyway, Jiang Tiansheng got him a few minibuses to run in partnership with Liang Kun and Dayu. They could watch boxing matches on one side and place bets on the other. As long as they operated properly, they didn't have to bear any risks.
The pricing is based on the number of fights a boxer wins and the time taken. For a skilled fighter with many wins and short winning times, it's not unreasonable to add ten thousand or eight thousand to the cost just by introducing one of them, right?
Once the gym gains a reputation, it can organize large-scale boxing competitions and make a lot of money.
"Understood."
Ahua understood immediately.
"Find some professional coaches for the boxing gym, and starting tomorrow I'll teach you and Feiji and the others some real kung fu. The gym will need Feiji and the others to guard important checkpoints in the ring."
"Real kung fu?"
"Just pass on the message. Make sure the boxing gym pays attention. Also, tell Jimmy to finish what I asked him to do as soon as possible."
"Jimmy is already visiting factories today. I heard there are two shoe and clothing factories for sale near the Kwun Tong bar area. He's still finding out the prices."
"Okay, I understand. Is that sleazy old fox still around? Tell him to come see me; I'll interview him myself."
Chen Fan wanted to see if this sleazy guy was Uncle Da, the "Tiger of the Serious Crimes Unit" who was a master of taking advantage of women.
